Ella Langley shared a sneak peek of her soon-to-debut single, “Choosin’ Texas,” which she wrote with country superstar Miranda Lambert.
Langley tells the story of a love triangle as she sits alone at a bar in the clip she shared on Tuesday (October 14). Viewers can spot a man wearing a cowboy hat dancing with another woman across the room. Langley sings:
“Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee/ I should’ve known better than to take him back to Abilene/ Put him right back into her arms/ I wasn’t a match for that kind of spark/ She’s from Texas, I can tell by the way/ He’s two-steppin’ ‘round the room/ And judgin’ by the smile that’s written on his face, there’s nothin’ I can do/ It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see/ A cowboy always finds a way to leave/ Drinkin’ Jack all by myself/ He’s choosin’ Texas, I can tell”
Langley and Lambert — who teamed up on stage at the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards earlier this year — wrote the heartbreak ballad with songwriters Luke Dick and Joybeth Taylor. “Choosin’ Texas” is due to release on Friday (October 17). Listen to Langley’s sneak peek below.
